In this paper we generalize the notion of essential codimension of Brown, Douglas, and Fillmore using \KK-theory and prove a result which asserts that there is a unitary of the form `identity + compact' which gives the unitary equivalence of two projections if the `essential codimension' of two projections vanishes for certain C\sp*-algebras employing the proper asymptotic unitary equivalence of \KK-theory found by M. Dadarlat and S. Eilers. We also apply our result to study the projections in the corona algebra of C(X)⊗ B where X is [0,1], (-∞, ∞), [0,∞), and [0,1]/\0,1\.
